Summary:
The 45405 zip code area of Dayton, Ohio is home to 4 elementary schools serving students from diverse backgrounds. While the schools vary in their academic performance, a few standouts emerge from the data. Deca Prep has the largest enrollment and a predominantly African American student population, with relatively strong proficiency in 5th grade Science and 3rd-4th grade Math. In contrast, River's Edge Montessori Elementary School has a more racially diverse student body and outperforms the Dayton City district average in most subject areas.
The data reveals stark differences in school performance, with Richard Allen Preparatory and Horizon Science Academy-Dayton struggling significantly, with very low proficiency rates and high chronic absenteeism. These two schools also serve predominantly African American student populations, suggesting potential racial disparities in educational outcomes. Funding and resources may play a role, as the higher-performing schools, Deca Prep and River's Edge Montessori, have lower student-teacher ratios and higher spending per student.
Overall, the elementary schools in the 45405 zip code face a range of challenges, from attendance issues to academic performance gaps. Understanding the factors contributing to these disparities, such as resource allocation, student demographics, and community engagement, could provide valuable insights for improving educational equity and student success in this area.
